Question

Whenever I set a style to a TextBlock, I am defining a certain FontFamily and FontSize, that are defined within the style.

I am to style the TextBox, so that it looks exactly the same, as TextBlock, but with the border around it.

I am applying Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextLargeStyle}" to my TextBox. In SilverlightSpy I see that it sets the FontSize to 32 pt. But in reallity it is most likely uses something like <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"/> within the PhoneTextLargeStyle.

How can I find the breakdown of the setters in a predefined Windows Phone style?

Is there perhaps an easier way to tune TextBox to look exactly the same as TextBlock, without defining a custom style for the former one?

All default styles you can find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Design\System.Windows.xaml

The system-wide text styles are in Design\ThemeResources.xaml
